Is Glass a Sustainable Material? Open Entrances' products consist largely of glass, which is a unique sustainable material because its manufacture makes relatively small demands on the environment. It essentially uses minerals to produce a benign non-toxic product which is "infinitely recyclable" while conserving its properties.
To achieve and retain the prestigious ISO 14001 :2004 (Environmental Management Certification) Open Entrances had to demonstrate its commitment to the environment by implementing, maintaining and improving an environmental system.
There has been much publicity on climate change and there is now a general acceptance that it is important to maintain a healthy environment for all inhabitants of the earth.
In addition to being a sustainable material, glass can be coated to make it extremely energy efficient and assist in reducing the carbon footprint of a building.
